For MHC-GNV99D

Place the front speakers at an angle of 45

degrees from your listening position.

For MHC-GNV111D

There are 2 different ways to place the speakers.

To enjoy and create a party environment, we

recommend that you place your speakers as

shown in Example 1.

Example 1

Place the speakers at an equal distance (A)

from your listening position as shown

below.

Example 2

Place the surround speakers beside the

front speakers as shown below.

Notes

• Do not place the surround speakers on top of a TV.

This may cause distortion of the colors in the TV

screen.

• If you place the center speaker on the unit, be sure to

place it at the front side of the unit.

• Place the subwoofer on solid floor where resonance

is unlikely to occur so that a better bass reproduction

could be obtained.

• Always place the subwoofer vertically, keeping it a

few centimeters away from the wall.

• If the subwoofer is placed in the center of a room, the

bass could be extremely weakened. This is due to the

influence of the standing wave of the room. If this

happens, move the subwoofer away from the center

of the room or eliminate the cause of the standing

wave, by placing a bookshelf against the wall, etc.

Tip

You can enjoy 5.1 channel surround sound while

playing a DVD VIDEO. To adjust the speaker volume

and level, see page 52.

Speaker settings

To enjoy multi-channel source sound and Dolby

surround effects, adjust the speakers distance
